Before pursuing a career in writing, I was a Musical Theater major. Out of 800 applicants, I was selected to join a class of twenty-three students. Conservatory training is rigorous — it has to be, given the number of Broadway hopefuls and the competitive nature of the field. Our final exams each semester were referred to as “boards.” For my . . .

Phew - you guys, it's been such a crazy few weeks. If you're following me on Instagram, you've caught bits and pieces, but basically, production schedule is extremely intense. Here's how it works:
At the beginning of the week, our "crew call" (the time at which we need to report to set) will usually be early - about 7AM. Per studio regulations, . . .

Hi guys! How was everyone's weekend? Even though it's Tuesday... It's my Monday! As most of you know, I'm in Chicago shooting a pilot with my boss for a month. Chicago is my hometown, so it's nice to be back. In between the craziness of filming, I managed to shoot some new looks this weekend! So excited to share with you!
Shop the top . . .

This has been such a crazy time. As you guys know, my boss's pilot was recently ordered, I signed with an agent and manager, am planning a wedding, AND we just moved. At any given moment, my brain is going in a million directions.
I've been trying to make a conscious effort to take extra care of myself during this busy season. I've been . . .

I had my second wedding dress fitting yesterday! I had initially decided to make one adjustment to the dress and then over the holiday, I changed my mind entirely. I asked my seamstress to hold off until I got back, and we changed the plan yesterday. I think it's going to look much better. Hopefully, I don't change my mind again.

Like many young people, holistic health coach Stephanie Popso once had a skewed vision of what 'healthy' was. She dabbled in dieting, read the front of the box instead of the back, and was addicted to foods she didn't even know you could be addicted to. In her own words, she was constantly stressed, tired, and in her head.
It wasn't until . . .

And we're back! Took me a few days longer to get into the New Year because of the travel and unpacking after being away for three weeks. I spent the entire day yesterday taking down Christmas and getting organized. It was like an itch I wanted to scratch for the last two weeks, and it felt so good to do it.
I've been researching a lot of ways to . . .

Whenever the end of the year rolls around, I always feel a compulsive need to get organized. I'm not HUGE on New Years resolutions - I'm a pretty strong believer in the idea that we should be constantly assessing and adjusting our habits throughout the year to achieve the goals we are striving to achieve.
Organization, though, is different. . . .

How was everyone's holiday?! Ours was low-key, but so nice. We have spent the majority of our break with our parents. Mike and I are super lucky because our parents get along so well. We spent Christmas Eve at my parents' house and Christmas Day at his.
I don't know why, but the day after Christmas, I always feel the need to get life back in . . .

Hi guys - I'm sorry it's been so long since I've posted! I know most people can related to how insane the holidays are. In the midst of all of my travel, I had to stop and tell you about this app I recently discovered - Suggesty.
As an assistant to some of the top executives in Hollywood, I was introduced to personal stylists. I would watch . . .

Hi everyone! Thanks for visiting my passion project. I'm a 26-year-old Lebanese-American with a love for carbs, musicals, and sappy rom-coms. I work in television, though the views and ideas expressed here are my own. As someone for whom a sixty hour work week is not out of the ordinary, I've struggled to find easy ways to stay on top of the rest of my life. This blog is geared toward anyone trying to find balance - eating well, dressing well, maintaining good health, etc. I'm going to spend time sharing what works for me and what's helped me simplify. I hope it helps you, too!
